𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀? Pimp My Porridge began as an Instagram account during lockdown. I posted pictures of ‘pimped up porridges’ which quickly gained a good following. The interest in my porridges pushed me to turn it into a small business which is still very much just getting started!
𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝘁𝘆𝗽𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂? I run Pimp My Porridge alongside working part time in a deli. So a typical day for me may involve a full day of baking granola, booking markets and doing admin or working in a deli preparing and delivering food.
